HydroCord Handle for Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Water Bottles, Hydroflask 1.0, Iron Flask, Thermoflask and Takeya Reusable Water Bottles, Paracord Survival Strap

UPDATE:This company has stellar customer service! What I thought was a product error was actually user error. I did not realize that I had a newer version of the hydro flask and this was meant for the older version. The company actually contacted me after my review and I told me how to find out what model I had and let me know that it was not made for the model I had purchased. On top of that they offered recommendations of their product that were meant for the model I had... and then above and beyond that they actually offered to send me a brand new model they had been working on as soon as it was available. At no cost to me! AMAZING!! I just received it in the mail today and put it on my bottle. It looks great and works wonderfully! Props to Gearproz. I will definitely buy from you guys again and I recommend this company to everyone.Did I get a dud? I was so happy when I received this paracord handle. I struggled a little bit getting it on, but it wasn't too hard. It seemed to always be sliding up on my bottle though and I was constantly pushing it down. I didn't think too much of it though, as it still seemed snug. Then the other day after getting out of my car and starting across the parking lot to go into work, juggling a bunch of things as I usually am, I hear this clank and I looked down in my hydro flask, my beautiful brand new hydro flask is on the ground. Not so new and beautiful anymore. I'm so bummed! I had such high hopes for this paracord and I wanted to protect my hydro flask because they are so darn expensive. It's a nice concept, but it just didn't work for me. now I have a dented and banged-up hydro flask and I'm not putting the Paracord back on because I'm scared to death it's going to just fall off again :( I would return it except that I threw out all of the packaging because it seemed to be working fine at the beginning.

I ordered this for my mammoth 64oz hydro flask bottle. I originally had a 40oz bottle but I drink so much water that I needed something bigger. Getting a bigger bottle, I had to adjust to carrying more weight. The bottle itself is big, bulky, and hard to carry (especially with the wide mouth straw lid on it). I purchased the gearproz paracord handle in the color “mint” with the whistle and compass attached and it is amazing! I already love how much easier it is to lug my big water bottle around. The cord is thick and sturdy, definitely a better quality than any others I have seen. It was worth the extra $6 over competitors cords for the better cord that matches my bottle and lid.TIP: I saw a lot of reviews pointing out how hard it is to put on initially and I have a trick. Before putting your paracord on, set it out in the sun for 5-10 mins, this softens the outer rim and so that it is easier to manipulate getting it around the wide mouth of your bottle. This trick makes for a quick and easy installation. I had no troubles putting mine on myself (and I have extremely weak hands). Hope this helps!

I’m really fond of this product. It’s true, getting it on is the hardest part - I had to soak the plastic ring in some hot water for a few minutes to make it more maleable, but that’s also a good thing because it means it’s not going anywhere. It’s super secure, I’ve seen other makers try to create a product similar with JUST the paracord, and that frankly isn’t sturdy enough. The plastic ring is vital I think. It’s also cute as heck, the color of the cord matched the image which was nice. Because the cord fits around my arm, I can actually carry my bottle like a bag and hold more things in my hands which is my favorite part. (Trying to juggle it before I bought a hydrocord was actually how I ended up denting my hydro flask in the first place). Anyway, it’s a very well-made product, totally worth the money, and I adore supporting small family businesses so I will likely buy another one for my partner’s hydro flask for Christmas.

Everything good so far, more convenient to take out. Hard to put on but hopefully that means it will stick in place as it fits snug on the Nalgene!

Great strap for my hydro flask drinking cup

This works well on large mouth water bottles, and the grip is fantastic!

I highly recommend this HydroCord from Gearproz I’ve now purchased 3 and came back on today to get a 4th for a hydro flask I’m giving as a gift. (All for 32oz Hydroflask widemouth bottles) They’re all in excellent condition still after travel, hikes, tossing around, and much handling.I initially purchased one to replace a **different brand** I had purchased for my daughter that was falling off her bottle after less than a month due to poor craftsmanship. I should have paid closer attention to the ratings and the “Amazon Choice” to see this one then! She loves this one and has had people stop her asking where she got it. It certainly makes carrying a 32oz bottle a lot easier and looks nice too.Once I gave it to her I quickly realized I needed one for mine. It’s fantastic! I have nerve damage in one arm and don’t have an issue taking my bottle by this handle and being able to walk my dog or do anything else. It’s made grabbing my bottle easier for me. Living in the Pacific Northwest I’ve taken it cross country traveling to DisneyWorld (and stayed hydrated in the park), hiking, road trips, the beach, you name it. I’m glad I got this through Gearproz.**UPDATE** Bought this in June 2018 and it’s now May 2019 and this is still on my bottle! I’ve had no issues and it’s been through a lot and is used almost daily. I highly recommend this if you’re looking.

That Hydro flask may keep your beverage just cold all day, but it sure is a nuisance to carry around. This handle makes it so much easier! It was a little difficult to put on because of my arthritic hands, but that was a one time thing, and it works great!

I saw this concept when I was on vacation in the Philippines. I'm so glad I got these. As a person who refuses to go back to the car to grab everything, this makes life easier. I can just slip the cord into my wrist and no more hurt fingers or dropping my things. As you can see, it also works for the 64 oz thermoflask.
